The internal stream state sets the timeout to 120 seconds 2 seconds after the creation of the flow, attach this internal stream state to the IPS_ASSURED flag for consistent event reporting.

Before this patch, IPS_ASSURED is set on regardless the internal stream state, attach this internal stream state to IPS_ASSURED. packet #1 (original direction) enters NEW state packet #2 (reply direction) enters ESTABLISHED state, sets on IPS_SEEN_REPLY paclet #3 (any direction) sets on IPS_ASSURED (if 2 seconds since the creation has passed by).
